Amazing! Congrats!

Ringworm is a fungus much as athletes foot is. I can't imagine this would impact surgery.

Sounds really good! I think I'd add ff ricotta for creaminess. I like the idea of cutting it up and freezing it. I'm looking for some easy go- to meals when I've planned poorly.

Heating pad! Also search the thread Shoulder pain-revealed. Good insight and advise!

Hello! Congrats on your journey and welcome to the band

The havoc it wrecks on your metabolism isn't worth it for me. Plus, I want to lose weight and NOT be crazy mean to everyone. Ha! I had great results with it but as soon as I stopped BAM. there it all was again. The band LIFESTYLE is teaching me how to act and eat like a skinny person. I have to embrace the lifestyle not just have the band for success.

I had SO much mucus the first few days...it was crazy and my throat and mouth were sore too!

Ouch! And wth!!

Have you called the dr? My dr told me to take gelcap Advil for the inflammation. I still have a tinge of discomfort now and then but no pain, pain. I go in for my first fill on Monday.

Someone said to me today " I don't know if its the hair color, or length or what but you look REALLY good! " funny cuz I've dropped 30 lat month and ppl can tell something is different but they don't know what!

I was banded on 10/5. Up till now everything has been going really smooth. Since yesterday I have been really tired, like fall asleep at my desk tired, and I don't know why. The only thing I have changed is I added B- complex, Iron, and Biotin to my Vitamin regiment. I also take multi, b-12, cq10, d, Calcium. Can my Vitamins be the problem or could I be dehydrated? I get about 6 glasses a day + morning and evening herbal tea. Getting about 70 gr Protein a day. Calories are around 600-700 a day. Oh, and I'm on the last day of my cycle.

I wouldn't do gummy but the chewable ones turn to chalk in your mouth so those won't hurt at all.

So interesting! This thread has really helped my resolve to follow my plan to a T, consult my doctor and team regularly, and to focus on being a better me. There cannot be a blame game in my failure with the band. I do not attribute my success to the band nor am I ready to have a failure. If someone asks me about my wl I say " I'm eating healthier and exercising more". There HAS to come a point in my life where I don't blame anyone or anything for my failures. I can tell you all why ww didn't work, Why I kept myself in a fat suit for years. They are really good reasons. Guaranteed to shed a tear. But those excuses make me powerless and I'm tired of being a victim. But most of all I'm tired of being a victim of myself. I will stand up and fight for me and my right to be the person that I was meant to be.....finally! (Banded 10/5 lost 30lbs) Michele???ƒ
